THE NEW YORKER THE RUN--AROUND " I S Mr. Gordon in? Do you ex-, pect him soon ? Yes, it's about casting. Oh, aren't you doing any casting at all? Is that so? Well, I'm glad you told me rather than give me the run-around. "Y'see, last time I was in this build- ing I got the run-around something awful. Mr. Bodnik, he was putting on 'In Every Port,' and my girl friend -she lives with me-she told me that he was doing some casting. Y'see, she almost got a part in the play and she told me all about it, so I made up my mind to see Mr. Bodnik. "\Vell, I didn't know until later that Mr. Bodnik, he had somebody re- hearsing in the part he wasn't sure of and that he was stalling Ine in the hopes that if this girl wasn't good I would get the part. He didn't tell me about this other girl. AU he said to me was, 'How would you like to play the part of Tony?' and I said to him, 'Oh, Tony. Isn't she supposed to be the queer one?' So he said, 'That was in the first script. She's changed the way she's played now.' Of course I wouldn't want to play Tony the way it was in the original because T think that that's what's killing the theatre, if you ask me. There is so much filth and so much, y'know, dirt, that no wonder people would rather go to the talking pictures. I always say that thcre is enough dirt in real life with- '-' out you wanting to sce it on thc stage. " W ELL,. anfways,. I said to Mr. BodnJk, j\ll rIght. I'll play Tony,' and thcn we discussed tcrms. l"'hen he told me I should come in the next day, and the next day when I came in he began to give me the run- around. He said the script was in Long Island but if I came in-say, this is a ",or ednesday. Well, if I came in . . 5 , \ Ill. ::::, ; : t \ r" ' . .' tU " ( ' ,. , -- ,) r i:'<}f": . <<., ;. tf$:,v...
